Christ, missed that one - last I remember him was playing for mediocre sides like Palace and Leicester - has he ever actually played for them?!

Yes. He is their second choice keeper, so plays fairly regularly. Obviously you can't judge his ability based on one poor performance. He's obviously a good player, or AC Milan wouldn't touch him, much like the Hargreaves/Bayern Munich situation really.

Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."

Was really amused and slightly annoyed to see Kofi Annan (UN Secretary General and a Ghana national by birth) give brief press conferences shown on CNN and BBC , where he repeatedly says , "Ghana were too good for USA and the better Team won on the day .(* Better team , my foot !! * ) Our boys are far from playing to their potential , they can go further !! "

Or rather that the manager/ director of football thought the was good enough, not that it was the case. Like Sven constantly picking Emile Heskey for example...

Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever...

RIP Fardin Qayyumi, a true legend of CW

Only a bunch of convicts having been beaten 3-0 and gone 9 tests without a win and won just 1 in 11 against England could go into the home series saying they will win. England will win in Australia again this winter as they are a better side which they have shown this summer. 3-0 doesn't lie girls.

It was a shame last night's potential thriller was reduced to 9-a-side

A shame for Portugal that is, because they shall not beat us now with half a team

Figo will "play", whatever that may mean

..and Ronaldo reckons he'll be fit. I don't rate him but it's not exactly half a side with those two in, from a Portugese perspective at least. Deco will be sorely missed, as along with Maniche he's been their best player from what I've seen of them.

Our oldest allies or not I really hope we stuff the dirty ****ers.
